The functionality of notifying users of the spreadsheet creation is not working. It used to work and I noticed in the documentation it has been updated 24th September 2019 so maybe this is a version problem?
I've tried variants of True/ yes in the notify section as per the documentation : https://buildmedia.readthedocs.org/media/pdf/gspread-pandas/latest/gspread-pandas.pdf - page 13
my_test_spread = Spread("My_sheet_"+date_format, create_spread=True, scope=['openid', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets'], creds=credentials, permissions=["bob@test.co.uk|writer|True","roger@test.co.uk|writer|True","emily@test.co.uk|writer|True" ])
my_test_spread.df_to_sheet(control, index=False, sheet='Control', start='A1', replace=True)
I expect the users roger,bob and emily to receive an email on creation of the sheet
EDIT
I also have tried this outside of the gspread-pandas wrapper in just gspread.
I tried the share method and the insert_permission method below. Neither have worked!
gc = gspread.authorize(credentials2)
sh = gc.open("My_sheet_"+date_format)
sh.share("bob@test.co.uk" ,perm_type="user" , role="writer",notify="True" ,email_message ="Here is this weeks list")
gc.insert_permission(sh.id, "bob@test.co.uk", perm_type="user", role="writer", notify=True, email_message="Here is this weeks list")
So I have changed nothing and it now works. I'm assuming a package update or something?
I received three emails so each of the separate methods: share , insert_permission and Spread's default method now work!
